Functional Conservation of Regulatory Elements in the pdx-1 Gene: PDX-1 and Hepatocyte Nuclear Factor 3β Transcription Factors Mediate β-Cell-Specific Expression
15 Oct 2000
Abstract excerpt
The PDX-1 transcription factor plays a key role in pancreatic development and in the regulation of the insulin gene in the adult beta cell. As its functions appear to be similar in humans and mice, we analyzed the functional conservation of homologous sequences important for the maintenance and the cell-specific regulation of the pdx-1 gene. Apart from the proximal promoter region, three highly homologous (PH1 to...
